Answer: The social-cognitive theory

Step-by-step explanation:

This theory state that individuals learn by observing the action of others .

It bases its focus on various presumptions.

firstly it is the assumption that we are able to learn as we observe others.

A person can have a role model from which they will take certain behaviours and adopt those to their own lives .

For example one can observe another person dance and be able to learn to dance also in a closely similar way.

Secondly it assumes that learning is a process within an individual and it may take time to take effect on one's life.

A person may observe a particular action but not be able to do it at that particular moment of learning it however may be able to do it later .

Thirdly it assumes that learning is also driven by individuals goals to perform a particular behaviour and lastly it also assumes that a person will reach a point where they are able to monitor this behaviour that they have learnt on their own .

Lilly observed her mom and set a goal to do exactly like her mom in her own family and she was able to apply this behaviour and monitor it on her own.
